SHOE-LAST AND STANDARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 373,974. dated November 29, 1887.

nppiicmionfiieanprn7,1887. serminmsaeoa. (No model.)

To all whom ,it may concern.-

Be it knownl that I, SAMUEL R. GAnRrsoN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Dennisville, Cape May county, New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in Cornbined ShoeLasts and Anvils, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in boot and shoe lasts when the same are used in conjunction with a standard, upon which they are set to-form an anvil.

The lower lip, J, of tongue I rests against the front of standard F, forming a stay or stop, as described.

The nature of. my invention will fully appear from the following specification and claims'.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical 1ongitudinal section of my device; Fig. 2, a front elevation of the same; Fig. 3, a broken side elevation. y

A is the last, having a downwardly-projecting tongue, I, which is provided with an inclined open slot, B,.to receive the pivot C, which is set between `the ears D E.

F is a standard, of which the ears D E form an integral part. Its lower end, G, sets in a socketpiece, H, which may be screwed to the floor, bench, or other suitable support. Tongue I is provided with a lower lip, J, which, with the shoulders K K, acts as a check or stop to hold the last firmly in place when in use. Supplemental inside shoulders, L L, also assist in this purpose.

Ear D is rounded at one corner, M, ear E being similarly constructed. rI`he inner parts,

N N, of ears D E, which form rests or supports for shoulders L L, are also each rounded at one corner. (See-O in dotted lines, Fig. l.) Tongue I is also provided with a rounded corner, l?. These rounded corners'permit the last to be turned on its pivot when it is desired to remove it, or to throw it up at an angle to permit along shae or boot to be pushed farther down upon it to enable the point of the last to reach the toe ofthe shoe or boot.

When a shoe or hoot is being pounded during the insertion of pegs or nails, the inclination of slot B will prevent lateral or vertical movement or vibration of the last and hold it firmly fixed. 'The last can bc easily detachedv of the boot, and then may be reset in socketV piece H.- By the use of my device lasts of various sizes and forms may be used alternately upon the same standard. One can be removed and replaced by another at pleasure.

The tongue I may project upward from standard F, and the inclined slot B would then be from the middle of the tongue toward its upper edge, and the ears D E would be attached to the last, projecting downward, with the pivot C between them. In other words, these parts may simply be reversed and accomplish about the same results as with the present arrangement.

What I claim as new is 1. The combination of standard F, provided with ears D E and pivot C, and last A, having a tongue, I, provided with an open slot, B, to receive the pivot C, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination of standard F, provided with ears D E and pivot C, and detachable last A, having a tongue, I, provided with an open slot, B, to receive the pivot C, the standard F being detachably set in a socket-piece, H, substantially as and for the purpose described.

'3. The combination of standard F, provided with ears D E, each having a rounded corner, M, and pivot C, detachable last A, having a tongue, I, rounded at one corner, P, provided with an open slot, B, to receive pivot C, and shoulders K K, substantially as and for th purpose described. I

4. The combination of standard F, provided with ears D E, each having a'rounded corner,

M, and pivot C, detachable last A, having a ing tongue secured in place by said pivot tongue, I, rounded :1b one corner, l), provided and provided with the lip J, substantially as with an open slot, B, to receive pvot; C, and and for the purpose described. il lower lip, J, substantially as and for the pur- SAMUEL R. GARRISON. 5 pose described. XVitnesSes:

5. The combination ofsfrnndard F, provided GEORGE E. BUCKLEY, with ears D E and pvoty C, :1nd last A, havx XVM. H. CARSON.
